Welcome to
Bellmont Kindergarten

Bellmont Kindergarten is a hidden gem, tucked away down a long driveway in Bellmont Ave, and backing onto Bankwood (primary) School.

The playground with its large mature cherry blossom tree includes a bike track, great water play, sandpit and wooden fort, giving plenty of opportunity for outdoor learning and energetic play.

Having a close connection with Bankwood School next door means a smooth transition for older tamariki to primary school and offers a change to catch up with old kindergarten friends on one of the excursions to the school.
